The Civil War Soldiers’ Monument


What it was Like: The Monument sit on the USM campus as you had in you can still read the names of the Man how died in the war or after they came home most were just young man from ages of 16 to 30. The Monument it self has a a granite bottom and a marble top were the names are. It is cool to look at what the names that of the men that gave them self to keep the us together.

Why it is Historical: The Civil War Soldiers’ Monument in front was the gift to the town of Gorham of Toppan Robie (Frederick Robie’s father and the first Robie in Gorham), from whom the town had acquired the meeting house. Its cost was $2,000. He was a trustee of Gorham Academy for fifty years and was a large contributor to the town and the Congregational Church as well as to the Academy. It was all so one of the first Civil war Monument in the North.

Harmon’s Lunch







What it was like: Harmon's makes the best hamburgers in the U.S. you all may not think that but if u ask me there is nothing better. I Have been going Harmon's sines i was i little kid and vary few times have i gone and seen less the 15 or 20 people in the vary small restaurant. As you wake in the door one of the first thing you see is all the old milk bottles on the wall and the 10 or so news story that are put up around. If you go in around Lunch time (12-1) you will want for a less 30 min. or more for your meal but it so worth it there is just one man on the grill Pete the owner of Harmon’s Lunch. ever burger in made to order there is never on sitting on the grill waiting for someone.
why it is historical: Harmon’s Lunch was opened in 1960 by Marvin Harmon died in 2003 at the age of 83. IT quickly became known for making the best hamburgers in Maine and maybe the US. The place has been in good hands since his 1985 retirement, though, as it’s still a popular place serving fresh-cooked burgers and fries to those who can find it.
